I let the genie out of the bottle

"Are you talking about me?" Lu Ye smiled, his tone playful. "As you can see, just an ordinary believer."

"you--"

"Alright, your companion has arrived."

As Lu Ye spoke, he grabbed Shiva by the neck with one hand and lifted him up as if he were a chick.

Upon hearing this, Shiva paused slightly in his struggle.

The next moment, he heard a familiar roar.

"You scoundrel, how dare you be so disrespectful to the heavens—"

Approaching rapidly in this direction was a deity with four arms and four faces, possessing an extraordinary appearance. The dazzling golden light emanating from his body, the lotus flowers surrounding him, and the endless phantom images of other deities constantly appearing all testified to the exalted status of the newcomer in mythology.

Brahma!

Like Shiva, he is also one of the three principal gods in Hindu mythology, holding an extremely high status.

Although he and Shiva often have disagreements, their relationship isn't actually that strained. Therefore, when facing outsiders, they still tend to stand united and form a common front.

Upon discovering Shiva's disheveled state, Brahma was naturally enraged and immediately rebuked him.

"I advise you to release Shiva immediately, otherwise—"

"Otherwise what?" Lu Ye's expression remained calm as he cast an indifferent glance at the furious Brahma.

Meanwhile, the mechanical girl Methuselah, who had collapsed from exhaustion earlier, had her energy restored somewhat with the help of Lu Ye's power. At this moment, she also had an unfriendly expression and cast an unfriendly glance at Brahma, whose face was full of anger.

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Brahma suddenly shuddered.

Then, he saw Shiva frequently using various methods to try to break free from Lu Ye's grasp.

But it was of no use.

Even though Shiva, the strongest being in Hindu mythology, used all his power, he was still like a mayfly trying to shake a tree when facing Lu Ye, completely futile.

Seeing this, Brahma's expression gradually turned ugly.

Previously, he thought that Shiva had been captured by accident and that with his help, he would be able to help Shiva escape soon. At that time, the two of them working together would surely be able to defeat the powerful enemy in front of them.

After all, even the universally acknowledged most powerful biblical god in the world had never actually fought him, so he didn't believe Shiva was much stronger. Therefore, his first reaction was to strike first; he couldn't afford to embarrass Hindu mythology under any circumstances.

But now it seems clear that he was overthinking things. Shiva's reaction to this opponent was less than that of a child.

“Otherwise—” Brahma’s expression changed, and finally, his face became respectful.

Previously, he clearly thought that Lu Ye was a powerful being on the same level as himself and Shiva.

However, at this point, a pitifully thick barrier had already separated the two of them.

"Otherwise, Shiva will have to continue struggling."

Brahma lowered his head slightly, quickly completed his previous statement, and said in a respectful tone.

It wasn't that he was too cowardly; it was just that Brahma suddenly realized just how powerful the guy opposite him truly was.

It's just like a mountain I admire.

It was as if the other party could easily suppress him with one hand, just like grabbing Shiva as if he were a chick.

While their own mythology was certainly impressive, everyone knew it was all fake. However, at this moment, Brahma vaguely sensed that the other side truly possessed the power described in his own mythology.

Should we keep struggling? What kind of nonsense is that?!

Upon hearing this, Shiva, who was struggling, froze and nearly coughed up blood.

"They're really too sensible," Lu Ye glanced at Fan Tian and laughed mockingly.

In response to Lu Ye's mockery, Brahma simply lowered his head, his expression remaining unchanged. Clearly, he had long since mastered the essence of shamelessness.

"Metatron."

Just as Lu Ye was considering how to deal with Shiva and Brahma, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

Indeed, it feels familiar. Since meeting the saint and walking together on earth, countless years have passed. Though not as many as the exaggerated three hundred years in the Bible, it is still a long time.

"Are we saying goodbye for now?"

Lu Ye was startled for a moment, then immediately understood.

Then, with a calm smile on his lips, he tossed the Shiva he was holding towards Brahma with a slight effort.

In an instant, the destroyer named Shiva seemed to transform into a deafening bomb, and with a series of explosions in the air, he slammed Brahma away.

"Unbeknownst to me, it seems a long time has indeed passed." Lu Ye slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze remaining fixed on the petite blonde girl.

Saint's face wore the same gentle smile as always.

"This journey is coming to an end."

Chapter Twenty-Three: Lu Ye: My teeth aren't good, so I need to eat something soft.

Michael is on his way from Heaven, and Saint can clearly sense this, since all the angels are actually her creations.

The reason why Michael, who had already learned of the news in advance, had not yet arrived was probably because he was in charge of most of the affairs of the heavens at this time and could not be as free and at will as Brahma.

Furthermore, although this area marks the border between the realms of Bible and Hindu mythology, the Bible's territory is significantly larger than that of Hindu mythology. Therefore, the distance here from heaven is at least twice as far as the central location of Hindu mythology.

Furthermore, Brahma's strength far surpassed Michael's, so it was natural that he arrived here before him. Although, Brahma was currently regretting why he had arrived so quickly.

Now that the Celestial Realm has officially come to search for Lu Ye's whereabouts... then this journey is almost coming to an end.

Having considered this, Saint's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flickered slightly with holy light as he issued a command to Michael from afar.

As Michael, who was speeding through the sky, unfurled his twelve pure white wings, his movements paused slightly.

Then, with a solemn expression, he accepted the instructions of his creator.

However, as the command from the God of the Bible clearly appeared in his mind, his expression gradually became strange. But since it was the command of his creator, he naturally had no intention of disobeying it.

The angel looked somewhat confused, but faithfully carried out the holy command, respectfully projecting his consciousness towards the edge of the seventh heaven.

The seventh day is the dwelling place of the God of the Bible, and also the location of the "system" created by the sanctuary. At the edge of the seventh day, there stands a chariot burning with flames.

The towering chariot, surrounded by flames, resembles the bright stars in the dawn sky or a radiant sun. It symbolizes the absolute authority of God, and only the Lord who proclaims "I am the beginning, I am the end" is worthy of the glory of this chariot.

Then, following the command of his Lord, Michael led this majestic chariot of fire out from the edge of the seventh heaven, its momentum surpassing even that of the sun god's procession.

In accordance with the rhythm and harmony, the spirit arrives, obscuring the sun. I spur my horse and soar high, heading eastward into the vast darkness!

"Ah, anyway, we'll meet again pretty quickly." Lu Ye glanced at Brahma and Shiva, whom he had just thrown away, and said casually.

This one glance made Brahma, who had just been trying to take the unconscious Shiva away from this dangerous place, tremble and obediently stay where he was.

"Metatron, are you unhappy?"

The saint moved with light, lotus-like steps, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, and a golden glint in her eyes.

If we say that when Sheng first met Lu Ye, no matter how charming and lovely she looked on the outside, she was the purest god on the inside, even with the meaning of "Heaven and Earth are ruthless and treat all things as straw dogs" as described by Taoism.

However, for some unknown reason, they harbor an extreme love for the human race.

At this moment, she should have been corrupted by Lu Ye... no, influenced by him.

Although it's not as exaggerated as the Bible says, that they've been together for three hundred years, it's still quite a long time.

At least, Lamech, who had found and given the infant to a shepherd when the two first met, seemed to be considering marriage and having children. In other words, it was about time for Noah to be born.

If Sheng's initial attitude towards Lu Ye stemmed from the feeling that "this will be my most beloved person in the future," and her affection for Lu Ye was like a castle in the air, then over such a long period of time, this "future affection," which was once nothing more than a mirage, has truly taken shape.

"I'd say I'm already quite used to this trip," Lu Ye replied gently with a faint smile.

The blonde, pristine girl did not answer immediately, but simply took a few more steps forward.

"If you were human, wouldn't this be the right way to treat someone? No, you can't treat you like a normal human..."

she whispered.

Then, her body floated up, and her lips lightly touched Lu Ye's cheek.

"I'm sorry," Saint said with a gentle smile, "but please allow me to leave for a moment."

After she finished speaking, her figure transformed into dreamlike specks of light and gradually dissipated, returning directly to the seventh heaven of her own realm.

When did there become so many unknown powerful figures in this world?

Seeing this, Brahma, who had been obediently standing aside, was immediately shocked and felt bitter.

He had initially thought this girl was just an ordinary person, but judging from the way she suddenly left, she was at least as strong as himself.

In addition, judging from the aura, there seems to be a strange metallic creature capable of forcing Shiva to use his final move, and a powerful enemy who could render Shiva powerless with just one hand...

"My lord, how can you possibly allow Shiva and me to leave this place?" After the blonde girl left, Lu Ye turned his gaze to him. Brahma was startled and quickly lowered his head to ask, "As long as you can forgive Shiva and me for our offense, you can ask for whatever conditions you have."

Yes, extremely well-behaved.

In Hindu mythology, Brahma is portrayed as an extremely eccentric character. Furthermore, in India, Brahma seems to have the fewest followers compared to Shiva and Vishnu.

"Conditions? There's no need." Lu Ye glanced at him casually, waved his hand dismissively, and said with a hint of disdain, "Just leave as you please. I have no interest in making any demands."

A look of surprise appeared on all four of Brahma's faces. He had been prepared for Lu Ye to make an exorbitant demand in order to appease Lu Ye's displeasure.

But since that was the case, and he didn't have to pay any price, he was naturally even happier and hurriedly said, wanting to leave as soon as possible: "Thank you for your generosity—"

“It’s not about being generous.” Lu Ye interrupted him, a gentle smile on his face. “Now that you’ve witnessed a glimpse of my power, you have no choice but to give me whatever I want, do you?”

Brahma almost couldn't keep up his fake smile, but he still had to bow respectfully and then leave as if fleeing under Lu Ye's teasing gaze.

"The person who came to greet me, just as my worldview had predicted, is indeed Michael—"

Lu Ye turned around and looked in the direction of the heavenly realm in the Bible mythology.

He could see the twelve-winged angel rushing towards him, and the flaming chariot that he was respectfully leading, a symbol of his status and position.

In a sense, Saint is a genuine rich woman.

"I've been craving something soft lately."

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Saint: I am most pleased with him

"Huh? You're going to take the easy way out?"

Just as Lu Ye was feeling sentimental, a slightly mocking voice suddenly rang in his ears. In the mental world, Mozlis rested her chin on one hand, her dark golden vertical pupils narrowed, and a cold light gleamed from her sharp canine teeth.

"Haven't you been eating all along?"

Whether it was gaining the power of a worldview or successfully killing a god for the first time; whether it was being able to extend one's worldview to the infinite universe or jumping out of the world of god-slayers to come to this world, it seems that it was all due to one's own power, right?

"No, you are different." Faced with this accusation, Lu Ye remained calm and composed. "If it were the two of us, even in the context of human relationships, it wouldn't be considered 'living off a woman,' it would be called a legally married couple."

Based on shared interests, adorned with mutual affection, and committed to each other with mutual trust, in a sense, this should indeed be a married couple, right?

"So, I'm watching my 'husband' live off her?"

The loli with gray hair and dark gold vertical pupils raised her hand to touch the horn on her forehead, smiled gently, and said in a sweet tone.

Ah, I'm angry.

Lu Ye thought to himself.

Whenever she used that sickeningly sweet tone, it meant a surge of aggression within her. Lu Ye was quite experienced in this regard.

After all, he had experienced many times whether his consciousness was suddenly pierced by a tail or he was squeezed to the point of almost losing his soul.

As for why I was angry...

Although the God of this world is far removed from her in terms of divine authority, there are probably some similarities between them.

For example, although their appearances differ, they both hit Lu Ye's target area. However, Mozlis's appearance is still more accurate.

Saints are formless and shapeless, choosing a suitable form through intuition. And Mozlis, perhaps, was the first one observed by herself, responding to her observation and thus becoming fixed in the form she desired?

“My precious one, you seem to have failed to understand my good intentions.” Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone kind.

"Try to think about it. If I always rely on you, how much of a burden would that be for you? Therefore, it's understandable that I want to find someone else to help you share some of the burden..."

Is this human talk?

In reality, his strength far surpasses that of Saint. However, it's okay to occasionally experience the feeling of "living off a woman," after all, it's a kind of fun.

With this in mind, Lu Ye continued to use his worldview to deepen his influence on this world.

Then, he turned his gaze to the twelve-winged angels that were rapidly approaching from a distance.
